Main clinical and biochemical features of patients affected by Familial Hyperaldosteronism type I before and after the identification of the CYPB1/CYPB chimeric gene. Hypertension was defined according to the 01 ESH guideline ; hypokalemia was defined as serum K + <. mmol/l; low renin was defined as PRA < 1 ng/ml/h (1. pmol/l/min) ; elevated ARR was defined as > 0 ng*dl - 1 /ng*ml -1 *h -1 (0 pmol*l -1 /pmol*l -1 *min -1 ) TOD = target organ damage; CV events = cardiovascular events; LVH = left ventricular hypertropy. * spontaneous hypokalemia was reported at diagnosis of hypertension, but the patient was found to be normokalemic at further evaluations; # one patient had normal PRA (.0 ng/l*s) under treatment with K + sparing diuretic; full text not available in English; ^ compared to the original manuscript, one family and three patients have been omitted since they are included in Carvajal 01 ().
